Astro Bot[a] is a 2024 Platform game developed by Team Asobi and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 5 around the time of PlayStation's 30th Anniversary. It is the 5th installment in the Astro Bot series, following Astro's Playroom (2020).

Development

In an interview with Edge, director Nicolas Doucet said that Team Asobi thought about giving the game an open world structure, but decided on focusing on a level based structure. He states that the reason for this decision was "because that was the one that gave us the most control over the game's variety"[1]
